Grants for Handing Down Knowledge

The Indigenous Ecological Knowledge Program (IEK) now has funding available for projects that support younger people learning about how to look after country properly from Elders and other knowledge holders.

Grants are available until late 2009.

The themes and purpose of the project must clearly be:

* time spent in the presence of senior knowledge holders
* learning and observing traditional custodianship and respect for the land
* nurturing an enthusiasm for cultural and natural resource management practice in the younger generation while undertaking relevant on-country activities
* developing an understanding of the complex traditional relationships between land and the people, providing a clearer understanding of traditional land management


This program services people living in the Central Land Council areas.

Kanyini

Kanyini is a fascinating story told by Bob Randall, an indigenous man who lives beside Uluru in central Australia.

Based on his own personal journey, Bob reveals why indigenous Australians are struggling in a modern world and explains what needs to be done in order for them to advance.

A tale of indigenous wisdom clashing against materialist notions of progress, this is not only a story of one man and his people but the story of the human race
